Wander around Britannia

• Needs Firefox and JavaScript.
• Click on the image to walk around.
• Walk onto the ship to sail around.
• Sail up to the land to get off the ship.
• Seemed like a good idea at the time.

BUGS

• Works on Firefox 1.0.4 and 1.5, I think. Doesn't work at all on Internet Explorer. No idea about anything else.
• Written in JavaScript. This is the first JavaScript program I ever wrote, so it's pretty lame. I've tried to include some comments in case you're interested in seeing some lame JavaScript :-).
• Probably violates Origin's IP, although they've given all this stuff away for free for quite some time.
• Embeds the entire, uncompressed Map of Britain in this script. Thankfully, 64kB is no longer as big as it used to be.
• Embedding tiles as "data:image/gif;base64" URLs may not be widely supported (yet).
• Transparent mountains (no occulusion map).
• No horse. No balloon. No monsters. No plot. On the upside, swamps, lava and headlesses don't kill you just as you've gotten somewhere interesting.
• Slower than an Apple ][.
• Stupid idea full stop.
